Vibration Signal Analysis

The research of rolling element bearings (REBs) fault diagnosis based on single sensor vibration signal analysis is very common. However, the information provided by an individual sensor is very limited, and the robustness of the system is poor. In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method based on coaxial vibration signal feature fusion (CVSFF) is proposed to fully analyze the multisensor information of the system and build a more reliable diagnostic system. An ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method is used to decompose the original vibration signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Then the autocorrelation analysis is introduced to reduce the random noise remaining in IMFs. After that, the Rényi entropy is calculated as the feature of bearings. Finally, the features of coaxial vibration signal are fused by a multiple-kernel learning support vector machine (MKL-SVM) to classify bearing conditions. In order to verify the effectiveness of the CVSFF method in REB diagnosis, eight data sets from the Case Western Reserve University Bearing Data Center are selected. The fault classification results demonstrate that the proposed approach is a valuable tool for bearing faults detection, and the fused feature from coaxial sensors improves fault classification accuracy for REBs.

Vibration Signal Analysis

The shaft, rotor, bearing and gear are the important elements of the rotating machines. Most of the problems in rotating machines are caused due to bearings and shaft. The failure of rotating machine causes production downtime and economic & safety issues. Vibration signal analysis is highly accepted technique in fault diagnosis of rotating machine. For automation of fault diagnosis, machine learning approach has been followed. Machine learning classifies fault based on variation in signatures pattern of the machine. But its effectiveness gets reduced when it is used for multi fault class problem. So in the present work, sound signals are also used along with vibration signals for applying sensor fusion techniques. In sensor fusion, signals from various sensors are fused in three levels such as data fusion, feature fusion and decision level fusion and the fused data sets are used for fault classification using machine learning algorithm. The performance of each technique is studied in detail and compared using classification accuracy. A new method is proposed by combination of fusion techniques to enhance the performance

This paper is focused on fault diagnosis of bearings due to localized defects i.e. spall on the bearing components, which is essential to the design of high performance rotor bearing system. The methodology proposed in this paper for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, utilizes autocorrelation of raw vibration signals to reduce the dimension of vibration signals with minimal loss of significant frequency content. Dimension of vibration signal is reduced to 10% with negligible loss of information. To extract most appropriate features from auto-correlated vibration signals and for effective classification of faults, vibration signals are decomposed using complex Gaussian wavelet. Total 150 signals of healthy and defective bearings at rotor speeds 250, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 rpm with three loading conditions are considered. 1-D continuous wavelet coefficients of these samples are calculated at the seventh level of decomposition (27 scales for each sample). Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ration criterion is used to determine scale corresponding to characteristic defect frequency. Statistical features are extracted from the wavelet coefficients corresponding to selected scales. Finally, bearing faults are classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. The test results show that the SVM can be used efficiently for bearing fault classification. It is also observed that classification accuracy is improved by using autocorrelation.

Aimed at distinguishing different fault categories of severity of rolling bearings, a novel method based on feature space reconstruction and multiscale permutation entropy is proposed in the study. Firstly, the ensemble empirical mode decomposition algorithm (EEMD) was employed to adaptively decompose the vibration signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the representative IMFs which contained rich fault information were selected to reconstruct a feature vector space. Secondly, the multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) was used to calculate the complexity of reconstructed feature space. Finally, the value of multiscale permutation entropy was presented to a support vector machine for fault classification. The proposed diagnostic algorithm was applied to three groups of rolling bearing experiments. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method has better classification performance and robustness than other traditional methods.

Diagnosis Method

Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) represents a valuable aid in empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and has been widely used in fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings. However, the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) generated by EEMD often contain residual noise. In addition, adding different white Gaussian noise to the signal to be analyzed probably produces a different number of IMFs, and different number of IMFs makes difficult the averaging. To alleviate these two drawbacks, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) was previously presented. Utilizing the advantages of CEEMDAN in extracting weak characteristics from noisy signals, a new fault diagnosis method of rolling element bearings based on CEEMDAN is proposed. With this method, a particular noise is added at each stage and after each IMF extraction, a unique residue is computed. In this way, this method solves the problem of the final averaging and obtains IMFs with less noise. A simulated signal is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the decomposition results show that the method obtains more accurate IMFs than the EEMD. To further demonstrate the proposed method, it is applied to fault diagnosis of locomotive rolling element bearings. The diagnosis results prove that the method based on CEEMDAN may reveal the fault characteristic information of rolling element bearings better.

Properties of time domain parameters of the vibration signal have been extensively studied for the fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings (REB). Parameters like kurtosis and Envelope Harmonic-to-Noise Ratio are most widely applied in this field and some important progress has been made. However, since only one-sided information is contained in these parameters respectively, problems still exist in practice when the signals collected are of complicated structure and/or contaminated by strong background noises. A new parameter, named Shock pulse index (SPI), is proposed in this paper. It integrates the mutual advantage of both parameters above and can help effectively identify fault related impulse components under the interference of strong background noises, unrelated harmonic components and random impulses. The SPI optimizes the parameters of Maximum Correlated Kurtosis Deconvolution (MCKD), which is used to filter the signals under consideration. Finally, the interested transient information contained in the filtered signal can be highlighted through demodulation with Teager Energy Operator (TEO). Fault related impulse components can therefore be extracted accurately. Simulations and experiment analyses verify the effectiveness and correctness of the SPI.

Coal-gangue interface detection during top-coal caving mining is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a new vibration signal analysis approach to detecting the coal-gangue interface based on singular value decomposition (SVD) techniques and support vector machines (SVMs). Due to the nonstationary characteristics in vibration signals of the tail boom support of the longwall mining machine in this complicated environment, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to decompose the raw vibration signals into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by which the initial feature vector matrices can be formed automatically. By applying the SVD algorithm to the initial feature vector matrices, the singular values of matrices can be obtained and used as the input feature vectors of SVMs classifier. The analysis results of vibration signals from the tail boom support of a longwall mining machine show that the method based on EMD, SVD, and SVM is effective for coal-gangue interface detection even when the number of samples is small.

During the operation process of a gearbox, the vibration signals can reflect the dynamic states of the gearbox. The feature extraction of the vibration signal will directly influence the accuracy and effectiveness of fault diagnosis. One major challenge associated with the extraction process is the mode mixing, especially under such circumstance of intensive frequency. A novel fault diagnosis method based on frequency-modulated empirical mode decomposition is proposed in this paper. Firstly, several stationary intrinsic mode functions can be obtained after the initial vibration signal is processed using frequency-modulated empirical mode decomposition method. Using the method, the vibration signal feature can be extracted in unworkable region of the empirical mode decomposition. The method has the ability to separate such close frequency components, which overcomes the major drawback of the conventional methods. Numerical simulation results showed the validity of the developed signal processing method. Secondly, energy entropy was calculated to reflect the changes in vibration signals in relation to faults. At last, the energy distribution could serve as eigenvector of support vector machine to recognize the dynamic state and fault type of the gearbox. The analysis results from the gearbox signals demonstrate the effectiveness and veracity of the diagnosis approach.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Taking aim at the nonstationary nonlinearity of the rolling bearing vibration signal, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on the entropy fusion feature of complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) is proposed in combination with information fusion theory. First, CEEMD of the vibration signal of the rolling bearing is performed. Then the signal is decomposed into the sum of several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the singular entropy, energy entropy, and permutation entropy are obtained for the IMFs with fault features. Second, the feature extraction method of entropy fusion is proposed, and the three entropy data obtained are input into kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) for feature fusion and dimensionality reduction to obtain complementary features. Finally, the extracted features are imported into the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) for fault classification. Through experimental verification, the proposed method can be used for roller bearing fault diagnosis.
